Build Your First AR App with Unity & AR Foundation

Ever wanted to place your 3D creations into the real world? This course provides the foundational skills to start building your own augmented reality applications using the powerful Unity engine. By the end of this course, you'll understand the core principles of AR and be able to use the AR Foundation framework to build and run simple AR experiences. You'll move from understanding the theory to applying practical techniques for detecting surfaces and placing virtual objects in a real-world environment, all through clear, text-based instructions and code examples. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental concepts of Augmented Reality and how AR Foundation works with ARCore and ARKit. - Set up a complete Unity project for AR development for both Android and iOS devices. - Learn to detect horizontal and vertical planes to place virtual objects on real-world surfaces like floors and walls. - Practice using image tracking to trigger AR content from physical images or markers. - Build interactive experiences by allowing users to manipulate virtual objects in the AR scene. - Apply best practices for user interface (UI) design and user experience (UX) in an AR context. - Create a complete AR scene from scratch, placing and interacting with 3D models. The course begins with key AR terminology and setting up your development environment, then progresses through hands-on exercises covering plane detection, object placement, and user interaction. This course is designed for absolute beginners. No prior experience with Unity, C#, or augmented reality is required to get started. Start reading today and bring your digital ideas to life.
